Youth Pathways
Youth Pathways (PEEL REGION WA)
Youth Pathways, which is funded by the Australian Government - Department of Education, Science and Training, helps young people in the Peel Region and who are most at risk of not making a successful transition to reach their full potential by keeping them engaged or re-engaging them with education and training. Participants will receive personalised assistance specifically directed to their needs. Participants will receive an assessment, assistance, and ongoing support and guidance to help them overcome barriers to effective participation in education, training or employment services programmes.
If you’re having trouble staying on track at school, or you (or one of your friends) have already left school and are not quite sure what do with yourself,
Youth Pathways might be the right option for you. Youth Pathways can help you get back on track with your education and training. We know there are plenty of things that can get in the way of your education. But Youth Pathways can help you work through problems and find real solutions.
We will talk to you about your situation and help work out what’s getting in your way, or what’s preventing you from getting through school. And we’ll help you to find out your strengths and goals, and set up a plan to get you past the obstacles and back on track.
The plan sets out specific things that need doing—by us and by you. We do our bit, and we help you to do yours. And we keep on helping you, and providing advice when you need it, as you move through your training or education and onwards.
We encourage and support you to:
- stay on at school or other education or training
- get back into some form of schooling or training
- repare yourself to take up employment-related options.
To be eligible to participate in Youth Pathways, a young person must be an Australian citizen or permanent resident between the ages of 13 to 19 and either:
- at risk of leaving school before completing year 12, and
- at risk of not making a successful transition through school and from school to further education, training or employment, or
- have left school in the preceding 12 months without completing year 12, and
- at risk of not making a successful transition to further education, training or employment.
